During the AI policy discussion on https://invent.kde.org/plasma/plasma-workspace/-/work_items/187 someone called a KDE contributor out for their bigotry. KDE banned the person calling them out and removed all the comments.

I guess it’s official. Fascism is allowed. Calling it out is not.
Who exactly is this “svin” person? And how do we know that the X account in question belongs to svin?
He was live-posting the whole thread https://x.com/bee_fumo/status/2102032995695645121
also, how do we know that they meant to be bigoted when they typed those words in that order? Has anyone really been far even as decided to use even go want to do look more like? That’s what you sound like
I don’t think there’s any question that the words are bigoted.
But I see very little evidence that they belong to svin, nor that svin has any significant influence in the KDE project.
Clarification would be appreciated.
The guy admits that those tweets are his in the thread. The influence is not substantial to the problem here
I see.
Well, I suppose this is all moot anyway. With KDE now planning to start spying on users to train AI models https://windowsforum.com/news/kde-plasma-kadai-is-a-proposal-not-an-ai-desktop.444963/ it seems we all need to abandon ship regardless.
What will we use next?
